Recently, it was reported in freemalaysiatoday.com that home loan rejection rate is as high as 70%. Well … applying for a loan can be a frightening task that will require a lot of your time and you need to figure out what documents to submit.

Actually, applying for a loan is not as complicated as you think it is.

The first “C” is capability. This refers to your ability to take a certain amount of loan based on your income.

First things first, if you want to apply for a home loan, you need to show proof of a source of consistent income. So keep all your income record properly.

Credibility

Bank evaluate your credibility from the CCRIS and CTOS report. These report will show

Outstanding credit

Special attention accounts

Applications for credit that have been approved or are pending

Business exposure, business ownerships and directorships

Bankruptcy, legal action and case statuses.

You too, can have access to both your personal CCRIS and CTOS report. So, make sure to check that your credit report is updated and is in the positive to increase your loan application chances.

Consistency

Finally, the bank will evaluate your payment habit – do you pay your bills (instalments and credit card balance) on time, all the time? Or do you have a habit of making late payment?

If you are habitually making late payments, chances are the bank will reject your application. Therefore, pay all your bills on time consistently, either on or before the due date.

In closing

It is not entirely the fault of the banks, financial institution of even the property price that our loan application is rejected.

More often than not, it is due to our own ignorance and not having the right knowledge that is the root cause.

Now that you know bank rejects or approve our loan by evaluating our income (capability), debt (credibility) and payment habit (consistency), start with looking at and improving your CCRIS and CTOS report.

Bonus

If you have not yet seen a CCRIS or CTOS report, chances are you will not know how to read or understand one.
